Hack-Check Thread (Read the OP for simple hack-checking)

[Requiem Aeternam]

EDIT- had to remove some smilies emoticons that accidentally got added.
Just want to check on a few dittos. Gonna berry off all the EVs to be sure. Some may have Daycare exp after I got them, but no ev's.

Ditto #1: Thinking Hack since Contest ribbon, none of the contest stats raised, and came from Unova where they only have movies and musicals?
Ditto #2 & 3: I think/hope they are real

Ditto 1 and 3 are both hacked. Ditto 1 because it has the Contest Memory Ribbon, is from Unova and contests didn't exist in Gen5. Ditto 3 is hacked because the only natures from Gen4 that can have flawless IVs are Timid, Modest, Calm and Docile.

Ditto 2 I'm not sure about.

 

[too-weak]

Thanks for the reply. Expected fake for #1 (haven't used at all yet) and my gut feeling, although I didn't have any solid reasoning, was a little iffy on #3 (gave one of its offspring to a IRL friend, but otherwise the offspring were sitting in my PC boxes).

This was too good to be true. It's a 6IV shiny, pokerus Japanese Bagon holding a master ball that I received from Wonder Trade.

[Naemeria]

I was wondering whether anyone can tell me anything about the following OT/ID:
LALOU 11649

I have a few Dittos from this person, but they look legal to me (IVs/EVs/Natures fit with the stats, all are non-shiny, non-HA). From the looks of it, they can be RNG'd. Just want to know if the OT/ID combination is known for either hacking or RNGing or not known at all.

This is considered legal, because it is NOT impossible, but very VERY unlikely.
You would have a better chance at encounting Shiny Landorus 100,000 times than soft resetting over and over and over again to get your perfect IV Landorus, with adamant nature at that
Maybe that one person did spend days to months and finally got that Landorus and cloned it to oblivion.

I believe this once legit Pokemon was power saved into a hack. To me it looks like someone caught it, and then power saved it to have perfect IVs and nature set to ADAMANT for competitive reasons.

Thanks! Having a lot of trouble figuring out what is legit this generation. This pokemon seems extremely unlikely considering the very low probability of occurrence due to ivs.

I actually nabbed two of those off wonder trades with the exact OT/ID number. Had a friend hack-check it for me, can tell you with certainty that the one you have is 100% illegitimate.

 

[furan1]

Thanks a bunch! Wish I could get better at checking these. I really couldn't spot anything. I guess the best hack check this generation is an intuition check.

 

[SilverLanayru]

7942ef72 Is the PID he RNGed his ID number for to make the spread shiny. It's the PID for the hex-flawless Timid spread in HG/SS. I've been on Smogon once or twice and browsed around their trade threads at times, some people use to list the PIDs they RNGed for in gen 4. I never understood why really, it doesn't tell you anything useful, and it always looked suspicious to me, but I'm a bit jaded by past hackers so maybe that's just my paranoia. Any way, knowing the PID doesn't really tell you anything, and the people who can use the PID to double check the spread are fully capably of finding the correct PID on their own.

As for the several ID/OT combos, that was also pretty common in gen 4. You could only RNG for one spread at a time in gen 4, so if you wanted HP Fire Timid and HP Ice Timid, that meant you needed to play the game twice (well, only if you wanted the pokemon shiny). Quite few people had the ability to extract their save files and could inject them back into the cart at will. Other, like myself, were low tech and had to delete the previous save every time we decided to RNG a different spread. Emu abuse would make this process a lot easier though. Did the trade thread mention tht they played on an emulator? Some users also use to make note of that as well.

EDIT: I just noticed that he lists his file as Japanese. Is the OT in the blocky Japanese font, and does the pokemon have a JAP tag? If not, then regardless of Bitterlemon's legitimacy, it would seem someone hacked one of his pokemon. Even if the pokemon has the right OT font and the JAP tag, however, the problem of the ID number still remains, but the font and tag would give a definitive answer.

Sorry for the late reply. I checked it, and the OT is not in the blocky Japanese font, nor does it have the JPN tag; so there's our answer. Really unfortunate that someone may have likely hacked his Pokémon in that case. I'll have to let my bf know about this, since I got the clone from him.

I once read Timid means it was caught in another region, so I still don't know if it is hacked.
